2. Watch this video that explains learning logs in the classroom. Written learning logs can be easily transformed into digital learning logs where the teacher can give immediate feedback and have discussion amongst students. Authentic Assessment Strategy KristaH @khostilo1 Links to information on learning logs with useful templates to get your students started. Learning Logs Learning Log technique Technology tools that can be used are Wordpress, Blogger, and Google Sites
3. Authentic Assessment Strategy continued….. Engage/Enhance/Extend Students can use Learning Logs as an extension to their classroom learning. Students can have conversation with other students and receive immediate feedback from teachers. KristaH @khostilo1 Quote from Gillian Greenhill Hannum
4. Why Digital Portfolios? 10 tools to use while creating Portfolios: Kidblog Edublog ThreeRing VoiceThread Weebly WordPress Google Sites Evernote Easy Portfolios Wikispace for Education Portfolios allow students to reflect on their learning and choose their best product. Students understanding goal setting, documenting, collaborating, selecting, and reflecting while putting together a presentation of their best work. Authentic Assessment Strategy Links to information on Student Portfolios: Education World Edutopia Portfolio Handbook KristaH @khostilo1
5. Authentic Assessment Strategy continued….. Engage/Enhance/Extend Students can evaluate their work and revise making it better. Students will develop a deeper understanding of best practices producing good quality work. Bloom’s Taxonomy: The areas of Applying, Evaluating, and Creating will all be present using digital portfolios. KristaH @khostilo1
6. Assessment Strategy 1 - Infographic P resentation (continued) Resources:NA Infographic Example, Visme- Infographic Creator What Makes a Good Infographic Types of Infographics Laura B @LBlakes_GS
7. Assessment Strategy 1 - Infographic P resentation Focus: Creating an infographic to synthesize research on a particular topic. (Project -based learning) Digital Bloom's Taxonomy:Understanding and Creating E/E/E Level: This assessment uses all three components. Engage - introducing a new tool for students to use, Enhance - without this technology tool, students could not complete an infographic as a presentation/assessment tool, Extend- this is a tool that students could continue to use outside of school for other topics. Technology Tool: visme.com to create the infographic Description: Infographics give students a different way to display their learning besides writing papers, using powerpoint, or Prezi. Before the actual design, students must first conduct appropriate research on a particular content area subject. After filtering research, they will synthesize their learning by creating an infographic. In addition, students should be able to cite their sources correctly within the presentation. When grading, the focus should weigh heavier on the content than the design, especially if this is their first time using this tool. Laura B @LBlakes_GS
8. Assessment Strategy 2 - N earpod Focus: Using nearpod to collaborate and show learning on a particular subject area. Digital Bloom's Taxonomy: Nearpod could cover most areas of Bloom’s Taxonomy depending on the intended use of the tool. For the most part, it involves remembering, understanding, and applying. E/E/E Level: Students learning is enhanced by using a 1 -1 tool to collaborate with teacher and classmates. Technology Tool: Nearpod site/app Description: To get started, the teacher must create an account from nearpod.com. There are many presentations that are already made that the teacher can use or they can create their own. There are options on the slides, for example, drawing, presenting, question, analyzing, video, etc. that the teacher can incorporate in the lesson/assessment. When ready to share, the teacher would be in presenter mode and each student can have the own device to access the presentation. The Nearpod is directed by the teacher and the slides will automatically change on the students device. When wanting to assess, Nearpod will give you a summary report of each students progress. Laura B @LBlakes_GS
9. Assessment Strategy 2 - N earpod (continued) Resources : Nearpod - Create, Engage, Assess through Mobile Devices What is Nearpod? Laura B @LBlakes_GS Using Nearpod to Assess
10. Assessment Strategy: Virtual Presentations • allows students to use software to create presentations • allows teachers to assess using technology - rubrics would be needed • Engages, enhances, and extends learning • Blooms Level 2 - Application • Students use critical thinking skills with new programs while synthesizing newly learned material • Students could make presentations on independent Julia B. @juliembrannen
11. Virtual Presentations Tools Powtoon https://www.powtoon.com Using Powtoon, students will be able to create presentations to show their class. Presentations could be over an independent study, tutorial for struggling students, or a different ending to a book study. Prezi www.prezi.com Works similar to Power Point, but students can add interactive charts, maps and infographics. This would be great for math and science! Google Slides Easy access, and students can work simultaneously with each other using different devices. Students from different classes could even work together. Julia B. @juliembrannen
12. Assessment Strategy: Virtual Exit Slips • A digital “Ticket Out the Door” - Instead of having students use paper/pencil or a thumbs up/down to see if they understand the new concept, why not allow them to use technology to show the same information? • Formative assessment • Uses critical thinking and knowledge • Engages, enhances, and can extend the educational experience • Blooms Level 2 - Application • Teachers can collect all of the responses to create a digital learning wall for the students. Julia B. @juliembrannen
13. Virtual Exit Slips Tools Word Art https://wordart.com/ Blog Journal Students can use any blog (such as blogger) to write a journal response. Teachers could even write a blog on their classroom blog then have students respond or comment on the teacher’s blog. Spark Post https://spark.adobe.com /about/post Students can create free graphics using their existing Google account. Julia B. @juliembrannen
14. Assessment Strategy: Screencasts Screencasts are a great way to assess student learning. The students simply record what is happening on the screen of a device, while they explain the process or their own thinking. “When students make a movie of their thinking, they give you a window into their thought process” https://www.edutopia.org/blog/tech-based-formative- assessment-monica-burns Tools that can be used to create screencasts: Explain Everything Snagit ScreenChomp ShowMe Quicktime Player Educreations Focus: Teachers use screencasts (created by students) as proof of understanding, knowledge of the information, critical thinking skills, and their ability to present information. DanaR @DanaRyal
15. Assessment Strategy: Screencasts Bloom’s Taxonomy: Remembering Understanding Applying Analyzing Evaluating Creating Screencasts can cover all of the levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy depending on how you use them in the classroom. Great Resources for Screencasts: http://tweenteacher.com/2016/11/11/the- ultimate-screencasting-guide-for-teachers-and- students/ http://www.teachhub.com/technology- classroom-why-how-screencast Engage/Enhance/Extend: Screencasts can be a great tool to assess student learning while keeping all students fully engaged. Screencasts can also be used to enhance or extend learning because all students will be working independently on their level and at their own pace. DanaR @DanaRyal
16. Assessment Strategy: Assessments Using Music Tools that can be used to incorporate music into the classroom: Garageband Audacity Music Maker Jam DanaR @DanaRyal Music can also be a great way to assess students learning. The students can use the information that they have learned to create a song, poetry, or even a podcast with some of these resources. Focus: Teachers can use student created songs, poetry, and podcasts as proof of understanding, knowledge of the information, critical thinking skills, and their ability to present information. Students can self-reflect on their work and edit it if they feel like it is needed. http://www.teiacooperativa.pro.br/using-music-in-the-classroom-to-improve-students-language-skills/
17. Assessment Strategy: Assessments Using Music Bloom’s Taxonomy: Remembering Understanding Applying Analyzing Assessments using music can cover most of the levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy. The students will have to remember, understand, apply, and analyze the information to complete the task. DanaR @DanaRyal Great resources for assessments using music: https://www.edutopia.org/blog/using-music- strategies-language-arts-classroom-heather- wolpert-gawron https://www.theedadvocate.org/10-ways- incorporate-music-classroom/ https://www.uscranton.com/resources/teachin g-tips/music-in-the-classroom-proves- beneficial-for-learning/#.WyP5g6dKjIU Engage/Enhance/Extend: Incorporating music into other subjects areas can help engage students that might not be interested in the subject otherwise. Creating music assignments can also help to enhance and extend the lesson because the students must really know the content well before they can create a song, poem, or podcast with the information.
18. ASSESSMENT STRATEGY: LIVE QUIZ GAMES • Technology tools such as iPads and computers can be used. • Students can show deep understanding of topics by creating quizzes for other students to take. • Students also take quizzes that the teacher makes. • Quizlet live • Kahoot • Classcraft • Poll Everywhere • Plickers Cody R @CodyNRyal
19. ASSESSMENT STRATEGY: LIVE QUIZ GAMES • Focus: Using online quizzes to check students understanding of material/mastery. • Bloom’s Taxonomy: Remembering, Understanding, Creating. • E/E/E Level: Teachers take advantage of the 1:1 tool to assess students learning. • Description: Students and teachers can both make quizzes online. Teachers use online quizzes to assess students mastery of standards. Students make quizzes to challenge their classmates. This is a great tool to use in the classroom so that students can push eachother. Cody R @CodyNRyal
20. ASSESSMENT STRATEGY: FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT WITH VIDEOS • Technology such as iPads and computers can be used to create videos. • Students can show deep understanding of the content they have learned. • This would be a great assessment to use in Science and Social Studies class. • iMovie • Edpuzzle • Let’s Recap • Seesaw Cody R @CodyNRyal
21. ASSESSMENT STRATEGY: FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT WITH VIDEOS • Focus: Having students make videos over the content they have learned will be beneficial to the students and their peers. • Blooms Taxonomy: Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating. • E/E/E Level: Students can take advantage of the 1:1 technology to create their videos. • Description: Students can make videos over the content that was previously covered. This would be a great thing to use in Science and Social Studies classes. Students can take a president and create a video about that presidents accomplishments when he was in office. This is a great tool to evaluate student learning, and it can help to teach other students about different content. Cody R @CodyNRyal
22. Assessment Strategy: Focus Students will create a Google Site to synthesize inform ation about a literary character in addition to analyzing the character. Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy All levels are hit, but there is a big focus on Analyzing (organizing and structuring) and Creating (designing and producing). E/E/E Level Enhance (dem onstrating knowledge in a non- traditional way) & Extend (interacting with m aterial outside of school) Technology Tool Google Sites Description Google Sites allows students to organize the inform ation they have learned into a way that m akes sense to them . As the teacher, I have the ability to assess their knowledge, the organization of their knowledge, and their interpretation and analysis of a character in the text we are reading. Grace B. @bellmergrace Grace B. @bellmergrace
23. Assessment Strategy: Grace B. @bellmergrace G Suite Learning Center: Getting Started with Sites Student-Created Websites as Useful Forums for Reporting on Historical Research (This article is specific to History Research, but it is applicable to other material.) Grace B. @bellmergrace
24. Focus Students will create an infographic to synthesize and present research. Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy All levels are hit, but there is a big focus on Analyzing (organizing and structuring) and Creating (designing and producing). E/E/E Level Enhance (dem onstrating knowledge in a non- traditional way) Technology Tool Canva, PiktoChart, etc. Description Creating an infographic to com pile inform ation on research allows students to present what they have learned in a non- traditional way. I love to so sm all- group research reading Shakespeare in 10th Grade E nglish.

26. Assessing Information Fluency Jeff, R - @RichardsonJeffD Examples/Non-Examples: Using a class blog site, students post weekly about their learning. The students have to list two examples and one non-example of something covered during the week, and explain their reasoning for categorizing those items. In addition, students have to read the blogs of others in their groups to be sure their peers are thinking correctly and give feedback accordingly. This strategy allows instructors to gauge the level of understanding of students in an ongoing (formative) manner leading to deeper and transferable learning Situation: 6th grade science is studying mixtures/solutions. After reviewing the section on mixtures, students should be able to give two examples and one non-example of mixtures, and the reasoning for their classifications. Blooms levels: Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing and Evaluating, and Creating. (http://www.stma.k12.mn.us/documents/DW/Q_Comp/FormativeAssessStrategies.pdf) E/E/E Levels - Engage, Enhance, Extend (Kerin-Kolb, J - 2013)
27. Assessing Information Fluency – Evaluation and Inquiry Jeff, R - @RichardsonJeffD Problem: How can we know that a student has mastered a complex process like using complicated software to perform multi-leveled processes that can be achieved in multiple ways? Example: Student groups are tasked to create an interactive design project that will be hosted on the schools’ website. The requirements are: the project must be prepared using Adobe Photoshop, and the interactive elements must be Adobe Flash compliant. The methodology, research, and layout are the choice of the student group. There are at least two ways to do nearly every Photoshop function; Website compatibility, and ‘Flash’ in general, may not be something the students use often [if ever]. ----------------------------------------------------------------------Solutions---------------------------------------------------------------------- Posting everything on a LMS such as Schoology allows interaction through: • Effective Rubrics: Discussed at the beginning of the project and adjusted for problem solving and collaboration, (Greenstien, L. (2012) Assessing 21st century skills) will show the least acceptable to best, or as expected, levels of work. This gives the students a guide to the project expectations, a means for instructor comment and citation, equitable guidelines, and a very effective method of timely feedback* (Rucker/Thompson 2003 – Stevens, D. and Levi, J. (2013) Introduction to Rubrics). • Learning Contracts and Checklists: Give the students an idea of what educators expect from them, and what they should expect from instructors (Greenstien, L. (2012) Beyond the Core). [slide 1 of 2 - continued]
28. Assessing Information Fluency – Evaluation and Inquiry Jeff, R - @RichardsonJeffD • *Timely Feedback: Feedback is most effective when given within 48 hours, while the information is still fresh on the mind of the students (Rucker, M.L. & Thomson, S. (2003). Assessing student learning outcomes: An investigation of the relationship among feedback measures. College Student Journal, 37(3) 400-405.) • Reflection Blog: Students that can offer coherent reflective summaries of their work are engaging in higher level thinking. Using online methods of feedback engages the student in a methodology reflective of 21st century skills (Kerin-Kolb, 2013). • Critiquing the assignment: Students who are routinely allowed to critique the assignment as well as the methodology are more engaged in the processes of learning. Instructors can also learn how to better align their instruction based on student feedback. (William, D. (2012) Doc Zoo – You Tube) Blooms Digital Taxonomy Standards - E/E/E level Rubrics: Understanding and Applying. Engage, Contracts: Remembering, Understanding, and Applying. Engage Feedback: Analyzing and Evaluating. Enhance, Extend Reflection: Evaluating and Creating. Enhance, Extend Assignment Critique: Evaluating and Creating. Extend Research project video: 2012 - Doc Zoo
29. Interactive Quiz/Exit Ticket • Tool: Formative (www.goformative.com) • Allows students to answer a variety of questions and even illustrate answers • Give teachers feedback in real time • Integrates with Google Apps • Use premade material or make your own N. Erwin @nerwin_hms
30. Interactive Quiz/Exit Ticket • Bloom’s Taxonomy Level: varies based on what types of questions teachers ask students. Most often Remembering, Understanding, Applying • Enhance, Engage, Extend Level: Engage/Enhance could be utilized • This is a great tool to track student learning and give feedback in real time. Teachers can use a variety of assessment strategies to allow students to show what they know through varying levels of Bloom’s based on the types of questions/tools teachers use in their Formative assessments. This tool also tracks student growth over time. N. Erwin @nerwin_hms
31. Blogging • Students can share learning • Collaborate on blogs • Respond to others ideas • Gives an authentic audience • Allows for student reflection on learning N. Erwin @nerwin_hms
32. Blogging • Bloom’s Taxonomy Level: Analysing/Evaluating • E/E/E level: Extend • Description: Blogging allows students to respond to a prompt or their own learning. It gives students an authentic audience with whom to write. Students are able to evaluate other students blogs, ideas, and opinions and respond to them. Blogs can also be used a way for students to respond to assignments. Students can share like/dislikes, what was effective/ineffective for them, and what could be done differently next time. Blogs also promote 21st century skills and allow teachers to teach about a variety of topics (e.g. digital citizenship, digital footprint, etc.) N. Erwin @nerwin_hms
33. iPod Touch Focus • Students will record themselves reading grade level text using the audio recording feature on the iPod touch. Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy • Remembering/Understanding/Applying (Students must be able to apply knowledge and understanding of phonics skills to decode unfamiliar words while reading.) E/E/E Level • Enhance/Engage Technology Tool • iPod touch Description • Teachers can use this device to assess students on reading accuracy & fluency.

41. Using QR codes as an Assessme 41 Inquiry element: Authentic learning & appropriate use of technology The level of the Digital Bloom’s Taxonomy Applying Mobile devices, iPads, or other tablets can be used to create and scan QR codes. 8 ways to use QR codes in your classroom Engage: Students are able to learn from familiar sources Enhance: Several supports for the word are provided in a single place free of distractions from the rest of the internet. Miranda Z @overzellous_az
42. Using QR Codes as an Assessmen Students will record themselves saying the vocabulary word, providing a synonym & their own definition, and performing an action for the word. They will then turn the video into a QR code, to be posted to the word wall for future review By posting the image to the word wall, students are able to reference the material, and apply it to their written work throughout the year. It also increases their overall vocabulary knowledge base, therefore improving upon their reading comprehension skills
43. Using Google Classroom as an Asse 43 Inquiry element: Deep Understanding The level of the Digital Bloom’s Taxonomy ranges anywhere from understanding to creating The technology tool being utilized includes the Google Classroom platform (either on a mobile device, tablet or computer) 12 ways to use Google Classroom Engage: Students will enjoy collaboration between one another. Enhance: The technology allows a seamless display of relevant content, and understanding through collaboration Extend: The site is accessible from home, and many sources can be pulled to convey a central message. Miranda Z @overzellous_az
44. Using Google Classroom as an Asses Using Google Classroom allows students to interact with one another, share ideas, and explore content all from one location. Instructors can easily post a discussion question, and have students respond by tying in sources from their lives. Students can also post questions, and other relevant content to the site. The site is also accessible from home, to upload supporting documents to further their points. The possibilities are endless when in comes to instruction and assessment.
45. ASSESSMENT IDEA: BLOGGING • Blogging can be used in most subjects and with a broad age range of students to show understanding and transfer of classroom standards and topics. • Students will design and create a blog site and posts to show understanding, synthesis, and the ability to transfer knowledge. Students will answer questions posed by the teacher and/or other students and reflect on classroom topics. Students will respond to fellow students post. Leigh Ann H @LeighAnn_gsu

49. 9 Interesting Ways to Support Spelling in the Classroom. Spelling is an important part of teaching students in lower elementary, it is the foundation that will help students with fluency, vocabulary and reading comprehension. If the student can decode words and then use context clues to find the meaning of the word then that student can comprehend the text that he or she is reading. Spelling is about Remembering which is a 1 on Bloom’s Taxonomy but it can be used with rigor to possibly a 2 which is Understanding or a 3 which is applying on Bloom’s Taxonomy if the assignments are rigorous for the students. Spelling is a part of reading and comprehension because it builds the basic foundations such as phonics, spelling rules, and grammar rules. Spelling activities can also help struggling students and students with disabilities too. Why Weekly Spelling Test Doesn't Stick CicelyJ@CJackso79849136 49
50. 9 Interesting Ways to Support Spelling in the Classroom. Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy and the Communication Spectrum can be integrated with spelling in the classroom. Texting and instant messaging in the classroom through Ipads or other devices will encourage students to send messages with correct spelling. Chatting, blogging, emailing, and contributing will require students to use words in a meaningful way and will require students to think about what they are sending to each other or in the classroom. The teacher can require the students to send a message using spelling words in the right context. It will require the students show their understanding and apply those spelling words in writing. The teacher can use SpellingCity to monitor and assess student understanding of the words, vocabulary, and use of words. Does Spelling Matter CicelyJ@CJackso79849136 50

52. 9 Interesting Ways to Support Spelling in the Classroom. Engage the students with different opportunities to practice their spelling actively. Enhance the students learning by applying the words they are learning through technology like spelling city, interactive whiteboard or videos. Extend student learning by allowing them to tweet a message or send a text for homework. Teachers should frequently use formative assessments to improve student learning, guide student efforts through evaluative tools, and design performance assessments that define the tasks according to Linda Darling Hammond. Students will get immediate feedback through the digital tools like the spelling test in SpellingCity, or teacher in an email, and other students if they are chatting but assessments can be ongoing depending on the task.
